Career
Born in Gillingham, Kent, Edmed played for Chatham Centrals, Rochester and Gillingham before being signed by Liverpool manager Matt McQueen in January 1926 for £1800. Edmed, a winger, went straight into the starting line-up and stayed there for the rest of his first season missing only four matches. He, again, couldn"t be shifted from his spot the following year when he was an ever present, along with Tom Bromilow, scoring 14 times, he was the club"s spot-kick taker which helped him score as many as he did from the wide position.
He was to score two more (16) the following season, missing just three games, this total was even more remarkable as his penalty duties were given to Robert Done.
He started the next campaign and was again a permanent fixture in the side until he picked an injury towards the end of the season. He was to play just a dozen times during the 1930-1931 campaign and eventually lost his place to Harold Barton.
After spending six years at the club, appearing 170 times and scoring 46 goals, Edmed was allowed to leave and joined his final club, Bolton Wanderers, in May 1932. He died on his birthday 14 February 1984.
